On this AU being more complicated than I thought for this muse

[louisiananprince]

It doesn't matter if you don't know what to say. The whole point a this place is it's me doin' the talkin' for once.

An stop deletin' thin's I'm tryin' to tell you. Just let me talk, for fucks' sake!

There ain't nothin' odd about a New Orleans boy knowin' somethin' a voodoo, white or not. It's been around for a long time, an plenty a white folks have believed in it. Stop wafflin' on this! Whether I think it's real or not ain't even the point. We both know it would be somethin' that would interest me.

An stop worryin' about how to explain me knowin' it! It's one a those thin's you pick up by just absorbin' what's around you, like a sponge left in somethin'.

An another thin'. I'm none too happy about what you're doin' with my personality section an history. I know you got to change some thin's, but stop tryin' to turn me into a whiny kid. Don't even try to deny it! My story is very dramatic an tragic an I'll thank you to stop turnin' it into "he didn't get what he wanted, so he threw a fit".

At least let me hurt the guy I stab. Work with me here.

Comments

[tendtoenunciate]

They never "work" with us.

[louisiananprince]

Well what if I just stop workin' with him then? He's havin' enough trouble adaptin' me as it is. He'd have to listen to me then.

[tendtoenunciate]

Where is that going to get you.

[louisiananprince]

It would get me some attention for once!

...I mean, not that I'm goin' to act like a little kid over this or anythin'. It's just nobody ever listens to me. I got important thoughts an viewpoints, an I could be a real asset if he stopped treatin' me this way. Just look where ignorin' my thoughts got us in the first place! A guy gets stabbed, an we move up north. God.

[tendtoenunciate]

...wait a second.

Are you a racist.

[louisiananprince]

The hell? You didn't listen to a word I said just now. Admit it. You're as bad as the rest a them.

[tendtoenunciate]

--and I know if I explain why I'm so upset at that idea it'll bounce straight off your think pan's shell. [SIGH >:TTT]

Okay. Look. They don't think of us as assets.

[louisiananprince]

I know! That's the whole problem here!

[tendtoenunciate]

So we can't think of ourselves as assets if we want to get anywhere with them. Like, uh. Are you still interested in the military in your universe.

[louisiananprince]

...Yeah... What's your point?

[tendtoenunciate]

Isn't there some sort of division of power.

[louisiananprince]

Yeeeesss... [He doesn't like where this seems to be headed.]

[tendtoenunciate]

[Yepppppp it's going anti-Ampora places.]

For instance, very powerful, nearly dictatorial individuals, and much more numerous others who are merely expected to carry out their commands...

[louisiananprince]

...

Exactly what are you implyin'?

[tendtoenunciate]

How do you feel about revolutions, Ampora.

[...she does not know shit about American history]

[louisiananprince]

...It depends on the revolution.

[He's studied quite a few of them, not just his country's.]

[tendtoenunciate]

The brief, tragic, swiftly-crushed-under-the-Imperial-boot kind.

[louisiananprince]

I'd have to say either the revolutionaries didn't adequately prepare or they had shit leadership.

[tendtoenunciate]

Or shit resources.

[louisiananprince]

That comes under not adequately preparin'.

[tendtoenunciate]

Don't they sometime live in lands with salted earth or such.

[louisiananprince]

That comes from losin'.

You can't live where the fields have been salted, that's the whole fuckin' point. Nobody starts in that situation. An once you're in it, you either die or leave an start over someplace else.

As long as you ain't dead, there's a possibility a success.

[tendtoenunciate]

[skffkfls

JUST REACHES DOWN AND RUFFLES HIS HAIR]

You never change, Eridan.

[louisiananprince]

[ahsfad his hair! D<

But it's close to pettings. He doesn't get many of those. :/

WAT DO]

[tendtoenunciate]

[Seeing his hair ruffled D: Carefully prunes it back into place.]

I'm sorry I didn't really think before I did that.

I am a sucker for AUs and easily enabled.

[one_winged_demon]

You've peeked my mun's interest, any chance you or your mun would want to see anyone else from your world?

:D

[louisiananprince]

My mun would be very interested. There's actually a game openin' up for my AU soon... An as for me, I would be forever thankful if some other southerners showed up. I'm goin' to be surrounded by yankees if I get in. Help.

Do you have any chat program we could use to plot on and I can ask you about your AU?

[one_winged_demon]

It can't be all that bad. I mean being the odd man out isn't usually fun but I doubt the majority will be outright mean to you.

[louisiananprince]

It's... alright. I suppose.

[He looks a bit awkward. He still doesn't know wat do! He is receiving unsolicited attention.]

...Don't worry about it.

Indeed! We have met before, actually. I'm discordianlizard on aim.

[louisiananprince]

That's... oh. You're serious.

Bein' mean to me ain't the problem. I can look after myself. It's... them. They're obnoxious an rude. [Eridan says with complete lack of irony.] They're... yankees.

An it's cold.

[tendtoenunciate]

Mmhmm.

So...... [She seems to have a little difficulty actually asking the next question.] What's it like in "Louisiana". [She doesn't pronounce it right -- low-ee-sii-ahna.] I take it for granted we're all human.

[louisiananprince]

[He's gotten used to people saying things "funny" and doesn't bother trying to correct her.] It would depend on what you mean by that. I never saw most a the state, I pretty much stayed in New Orleans. An there's quite a lot I could say about that place. You know what I'm sayin'?

I reckon we are. I never met anybody gray before. We don't all know each other though. I know Fef, an some asshole my mun is only hintin' is Sol. He's also got a Ter up here who is hinted at knowin' Vris, an Jack. Well. More like knowin' of Jack.

He's deliberately tryin' to keep our histories vague so as to not cramp any other apper's plans. We're meant for an upcomin' AU game. [Grumbles:] Set up in Yankeeville...

[bayou_miracles]

Don't worry brother. The yanks aren't worth worryin' over. Some of them can even be alright folks if ya find yourself the right ones.

Though I guess it's worth mentionin' that I'll be joinin' you in that northern city.

[louisiananprince]

Not all dogs bite, that don't make me a dog person.

Will you now. Well, I suppose at least someone around there will have some civility. [Again, he says completely without irony.] That's some small relief.

[bayou_miracles]

If you have to be there though it would be good to make some friends.

It's unnatural to just stay cooped up and away from people.

[louisiananprince]

I'm not goin' to become some kind a hermit. I'm just bein' realistic about how this is goin' to go.

Besides, friends are just people who say they won't leave right before they do. [Scoooooowl.] Unless you got some lunatic definition a the word.

[bayou_miracles]

Friends are miracles of god bringin' you people just as good or better than your blood relations.

[louisiananprince]

...Ok, not exactly how I would a phrased it, but that sounds about right. You just left off the bit at the end where they get bored an move on to new friends.

[bayou_miracles]

Then you haven't found the right friends, brother.

[louisiananprince]

I don't want other friends, I want Fef. [Pouting now.] I doubt I'll find anythin' better up north, anyhow.

[bayou_miracles]

If she isn't loyal to you brother she ain't the one you should bother with.

Friends can come from places you wouldn't expect, that is the miracle of it.
